Weatherford girls compete in Pony Club Championship

The WHS Cheerleaders have earned the chance to be in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City this fall. The girls performed a routine at the All-Star competition and all of the seniors and one junior were selected to the All-Star all U.S. team. They will be leaving the Saturday before Thanksgiving

to begin practicing for the parade. 1,000 performers were selected to perform in the parade with 500 cheerleaders and 500 dancers going. The Spirit of America competition

was spread across the country. So, it is no easy feat getting selected, and the girls worked extremely hard to make it.Each day in NYC, they’ll have an early morning practice

and a practice after dinner. Throughout the day they’ll have the opportunity to go with staff tour guides around the city. They’ll get to walk through the 9/11 Museum, see the

Statue of Liberty, attend a couple Broadway plays, and watch the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular. The cheerleaders are raising money for the experience, with the goal of raising $10,000 to cover half of the costs.

Donations can be made to local cheerleaders and through their PayPal: whscheer73096@gmail.com. Sponsorships for individuals and businesses are available for the team as well. Sponsorships will be printed on the back of the T-shirts that the girls will wear during their time in NYC. The Competition Cheer Team will begin competing this

year in September, and they have their goals set high.We’d like to wish the girls good luck this year and to issue

a special congratulations. We can’t wait to watch them perform in the parade!

Ceremonial signing held for Gestational Agreement Act

ProvidedLegislative Assistant Meagan Hansen, Gayle Garrett with Surrogate Solutions, Andy Long, Laura Long, daughters Maddie and Della, Gov. Kevin Stitt, Rep. Jason Dunnington, D-Oklahoma City, Sen. Brent Howard R (Altus) and Jennifer Howard gathered in the Governor’s Blue Room for the recent ceremonial signing of legislation, creating the Oklahoma Gestational Agreement Act. Howard and Dunnington were principal authors of the legislation.

State Sen. Brent Howard attended a ceremonial bill signing recently held at the Capitol for House Bill 2468, creating the Oklahoma Gestational Agreement Act. Howard, R-Altus, is principal Senate author of the measure and worked with House principal author, Rep. Jason Dunnington, D-Oklahoma City, to get the measure approved and signed into law during the 2019 legislative session.“Options for growing loving families have greatly

expanded in recent years, with many families turning to in vitro fertilization, in utero fertilization and gestational carriers,” Howard said. “Such arrangements can be a blessing, but our statutes needed to be updated in order to address these agreements, providing clear legal guidelines and protections for those involved.”Under the new law, this act allows women to enter into an

agreement to become pregnant with the genetic child of one or more intended parents and/or donors. A carrier must be at least 21 years of age, have given birth to at least one child, been a resident of Oklahoma for at least 90 consecutive days, and they must have completed physical and mental medical evaluations. The measure limits the parties of a gestational agreement to the carrier, carrier’s spouse if applicable, and each intended parent of the child.“I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to work with

Representative Dunnington and I thank my fellow members and Governor Stitt for their support of this legislation,” Howard said. “I believe having clear guidelines for these agreements will help hopeful parents and surrogates move forward with greater confidence knowing that their rights are outlined in state law.”For more information, contact Sen. Brent Howard at 405-

In August 2019, an auction will be held for toned coins. The star of the evening is an 1894-S dime with a total mintage of just 24 pieces. Only nine dimes are known to exist today.

Legend states the dime was produced clandestinely at night with the superintendent of the U.S. Mint in attendance. They were produced in a proof finish which means each coin was struck twice on highly polished coin blanks.

One of the dimes sold in an auction in 2007 for $1.9 million. The pre-auction estimate is $2 million. Does your grandpa have one in his collection?

Do you have questions about your coins but don’t know who to ask? Call 580-890-8076, we can meet at Jerry’s and talk about them with a cold drink in hand. Thanks for reading.

A Rare1894-S Dime Goes To Auction

Hope is AliveThere is a growing movement to improve

our justice system. This is sorely needed. According to an article in the Oklahoman, approximately 10,000 people are released from Oklahoma prisons annually. Statistics show that within five years, more than 75 percent will be arrested again for a new crime. As chaplain at the Custer County jail I see men come and go and too often come back. I kid them about they must have missed me and have returned to visit. But it is more serious than that. Crime is no respecter of persons. I try to see each of them

as one created in the image of God and therefore valuable in His sight and the object of His love. They are somebody’s son, father, brother or friend. As I look upon tender little first graders at the Early Bird reading program I sometimes tremble at the thought that a number of these seemingly innocent children will one day end up behind bars. While a lot could be done in preventive measures this article deals with the problem of recidivism—that is the tendency to return to jail after a new crime or, as often is the problem in the county jail, an inability to pay the fines hanging over their heads. This makes it akin to the “debtors” prison of olden days.I celebrate the coming effort made by Hope is Alive in

bringing to Weatherford an effort to help inmates who have served their time and now face the problem of transitioning to society; getting a job, reframing the way they look at life, and recognizing that they have worth and value because they were created by God to make a difference and bring glory to Him. This organization developed by Lance Lange, himself a former addict, is working to bring a House of Hope to Weatherford. A nice house is already being purchased which will house 8-10 former inmates, largely those who have struggled with addiction problems. They will live together, being held accountable, mentored, assisted in getting a job, and instructed in basic attitude and character development which will enable them to deal with the issues they face. It will be a face-based program. Many of them have not grown up in a home in which they saw Dad get up each morning and go to work. Attitudes were formed that did not help them to persevere when things got tough. The program will involve a 12-18 month contract in which

the individuals will agree to strong requirements before they are accepted. Fourteen such Houses now exist, mostly in Oklahoma. There is a waiting list for each House. It will be expensive and will require an area wide commitment. An informational and awareness program will be held at

the Student Center Ballroom at SWOSU on the evening of August 22. It is vitally important that the efforts of the Hope is Alive be clearly understood and backed by the community. There is always a tendency for misinformation and unfounded fears to develop. Please make a sacrificial effort to attend.These are men who have made mistakes but deserve a

second chance to reenter society and make a contribution. I have looked into the eyes of men to long to get back to their kids and families but face an uphill battle. David was a murderer and an adulterer, Moses was guilty of taking a life, yet God forgave them and used them mightily. Please be in prayer about this effort and be an instrument in God’s hand.To comment: jhm82@outlook.com

School is in! With sports, homework, and other school related activities, taking up so much of our time in the evenings, sometimes you barely have enough time for dinner. Although, we have a lot of great restaurants in the area, eating out every night is really not an option for most families. This is where freezer meals come to the rescue. They’re economical, time-saving, home-made, and delicious so you’re not trading in taste for convenience. I like to buy meat that is on sale in bulk and then make about three or four different recipes at one time. Yes, you will spend 2-3 hours in the kitchen doing prep work and cooking meat, but it will pay off when you can just pop something in the oven or crock pot for the rest of the week and not have to think about what’s for dinner. This week, I will share a couple of beef recipes; and in a couple of weeks, we’ll focus on chicken. If you know you have a particularly busy week coming up, this method is an absolute life (and sanity)saver. You will get two pans of lasagna from this recipe and two gallon size bags of taco soup, so all-together you will need four pounds of ground beef and 2 pounds of Italian sausage.

Italian Lasagna2 lb. Italian sausage2 lb. lean ground beef1 large onion, minced4 cloves garlic, crushed2 large jars pasta sauce3 tsp. dried basil leaves1 tsp. fennel seeds 2 tsp. Italian seasoning1 Tbsp. salt ½ tsp. ground black pepper1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley24 lasagna noodles 32 oz. ricotta cheese2 egg1 tsp. salt4 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded1 ½ cup Parmesan cheese, gratedIn a large Dutch oven, cook sausage, ground beef, onion,

and garlic over medium heat until cooked through and browned. Stir in the pasta sauce. Add the basil, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, 1 Tbsp. salt, pepper, and about half of the parsley, and stir to combine. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. (While this is simmering you can start the other recipe.) If using regular lasagna noodles, cook according to package instructions and drain. In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, remaining parsley, and 1 tsp. salt.To assemble, spread 1½ cups of meat sauce in the bottom

of each 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange a single layer of noodles over meat sauce. Spread with part of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with a layer of mozzarella cheese. Spoon 1½ cups meat sauce over mozzarella, and sprinkle with ¼ cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, and top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil and freeze. When you’re ready to bake preheat oven to 375°F. Bake frozen lasagna for about 45 with foil on then 10 more minutes with foil off. This tastes just as great the next day.This second recipe is a little less time consuming but just

as tasty.

Taco Soup2 lbs. Ground beef1 large onion, diced2 cloves garlic, minced1 can ranch style beans1 can black beans, drained and rinsed1 can Rotel

Food, family, and everything in between1 can corn1 pkg. Taco seasoning1 tsp. cuminBrown ground beef and

onion in a Dutch oven. Add garlic and cook for a few minutes before adding the rest of the ingredients. Let it cool then transfer to two freezer containers or Ziploc bags to freeze. To prepare, place the frozen soup in a crock pot with 1 cup of water and cook on low for about six hours. Serve over tortilla chips with shredded cheese and sour cream.

Brookshire Steps Down as SWOSU Cross Country/Track & Field Coach

SWOSU Athletic Director Todd Thurman announced that Shane Brookshire has resigned from his post as Head Cross Country/Track & Field Coach to accept a similar position at Frostburg State, an NCAA Division II institution in Maryland.Thurman has appointed Strength & Conditioning Coach Cade Oller as the interim coach for Bulldog Cross Country for the 2019 season."We are very appreciative of Coach Brookshire and the hard work he put into building the SWOSU Cross Country and Track & Field programs," Thurman said. "His leadership allowed us to add Track & Field as an NCAA sport and the program continued to grow under his guidance. We certainly wish Shane all the best of luck as he moves forward in his coaching career."Brookshire led the SWOSU Cross Country program from 2014-18, recording top-four finishes at the Great American Conference Championships in each of his first three seasons. In the spring of 2017, SWOSU took a new step forward as he guided the Track & Field team into competition and he coached his first GAC Champion this past season as Alexis Chao topped the field in Pole Vault. Prior to coming to SWOSU, Brookshire had coaching experience at San Jose State and Bemidji State along with Escalon High School in California."I'm thankful for the opportunity that I have had here

at SWOSU," Brookshire said. "Thank you to Coach Thurman, the administration, my student-athletes and the university for giving me the chance to build a program here. It was an honor to graduate from SWOSU and to coach here."In the interim, Oller will guide the Cross Country team

this fall while the search for a permanent Cross Country/Track & Field Coach begins. Oller returned to SWOSU in May as the Head Strength & Conditioning Coach after serving as a graduate assistant in the department from 2015-17. The official posting for the position can be found on the SWOSU Human Resources website.

SWOSU Awards 2019-20 Authentic Journalism Scholarship to Lexi Clark

Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU) student Lexi Clark of Amorita has been named SWOSU’s 2019-20 academic year Jack B. Shelton & Walter Crouch Scholar.Clark was selected to receive the Jack B. Shelton &

Beutler. “The names of these two men continue to live on our campus as paragons of integrity and creativity, and I know they would be so proud to see our students excelling. Now more than ever, it is crucial that truth and facts be advanced in our society. Thanks to a thoughtful private investment, students like Lexi Clark can contribute to that worthy cause.”The Jack B.

Fetgatter Sees Kaylee’s Law Signed by Governor

ProvidedRep. Scott Fetgatter, Sen. Kim David, victims, victims’ rights advocates and friends and family members gather with Gov. Kevin Stitt in the Blue Room at the Oklahoma State Capitol for a ceremonial signing of House Bill 1881, Kaylee’s Law.

State Rep. Scott Fetgatter (R-Okmulgee) witnessed the ceremonial signing of Kaylee’s Law by Gov. Kevin Stitt at the Oklahoma Capitol.House Bill 1881, named Kaylee’s Law af ter a constituent in Fetgatter’s House district, directs the courts to issue orders of no contact from people convicted of sexual abuse or exploitation crimes to their victims.“The victim for whom this law is named was contacted by the man serving prison time for crimes against her,” Fetgatter said. “He sent her a birthday card, pictures and newspaper clippings talking about how beautiful she’d grown up to be. This is akin to a fresh assault against this young lady who had begun to heal and move on with her life. This law puts orders in place to protect such victims from such contact.”Fetgatter was joined at the bill signing by Sen. Kim David (R-Porter), the Senate author of the bill, as well as the victim, other family members and victims’ rights advocates. The bill takes effect Nov. 1

Sen. Nathan Dahm and Rep. Tom Gann observed as Gov. Kevin Stitt ceremonially signed a bill that will increase transparency and accountability of the transfer of state dollars between state agencies and other entities.Senate Bill 316 creates the Government Transparency Act of 2019, which requires state agencies to publish online the specifics of agreements with other entities when a transfer of public money will take place. The posting must be within 15 days of the agreement’s effective date. Agencies also are required to provide copies of the proposed agreements to appropriate legislative committees.“Many of our state agencies have entered into memorandums of understanding or agreements with other state agencies, public entities, or even foreign governments,” said Sen. Dahm, R-Broken Arrow. “However, most of these are done without public input or knowledge. State government

should work to be open and transparent in working for the good of our citizens. This is a huge step forward in bringing that additional transparency for our citizens to further engage and investigate the actions of government to hold them accountable.” Gann echoed his sentiments.“Senate Bill 316 addresses the grand jury audit finding that found the Oklahoma Department of Health had transferred money to the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust without a proper memorandum of understanding or agreement in place,” said Rep. Gann, R-Inola. “This legislation, requiring state agencies to post those agreements online, enhances transparency and accountability on what monies are being exchanged between agencies. This is the proper way to conduct government business in full view of the public.”The law becomes effective Nov. 1.
